This is one of the fundamental reasons why I'm not an AI doomer: you can't use AI effectively if you are not able to think clearly, are confident enough to trust and express your thoughts, and can do so precisely and articulately. Moreover, since it's rare for AI to one-shot anything meaningfully (whether it's a chat response or any other generative medium), you'll also need a good amount of patience, planning, self-criticism and emotional control; mental stamina, broadly speaking. A comparison I've often noticed is the similarity between managing other people and managing AI. None of these are widespread skills. But all of these are uniquely human skills. Some of us understand this implicitly; those who don't, either because they don't have the skills I'm talking about (whether they're aware of it or not) or because they're not willing to work on improving themselves, will reject AI. They will do it in different degrees and for a number of stated reasons. At the same time, they will benefit from the (low-hanging) fruits of AI-driven possibilities. So in the end, even if it might be true that AI will "change everything" much more than the Internet or smartphones or computers ever did, nothing will change at the same time: most people will just learn to be content with the course of least resistance and complain about it.
